my friends computer for some reason is rebooting at the win2k login screen (like when u type a password and hit ok it reboots or it gets in for like 3 seconds and reboots.....one time we just clicked ok without typing in a pw and it rebooted)

he hasn't used this comp in like a month so could it have something to do with the blaster worm? and if it does how would we get windows updated if it can't even get into windows (we also tried booting with nic card not pluged in and it got past the login window for about 5 seconds then rebooted)

i had the same issue and it was a bad stick of ram that caused it in windows 2000 and windows 98 both.
